Etymology of APPROACHING

The word approaching is derived from the verb approach, which dates back to the late 14th century. It is derived from the Old French word aprochier, which means to come closer, draw near. This Old French term can be traced back to the Late Latin word appropiare, which combines the prefix ad- (meaning to) and propiare (meaning to come near). Ultimately, propiare itself can be traced back to the Latin word prope, which means near.
